Cosatu and MPs have welcomed the adoption of gender-based violence bills, saying they will intensify the fight against the killing of women and children.

Cosatu urged Parliament to immediately send the bills to President Cyril Ramaphosa to be signed into law.

The trade union federation also said government must increase the budget of the criminal justice system.

MPs said these were important bills to crack down on GBV in the country.
